My first charity event

I know this post comes a little bit late. I was busy juggling with my boy's first grader homework and learning cooking. Thus, I have less time for creating new items now.

This was the first time that I joined a charity walk cum carnival. It had been a few years that I had went for a road show.

I thought it will be fun and meaningful to do this event.

I tried to prepare as much as possible at home to save on setup time. I pinned the earrings and necklaces on the cork boards first and put in two big plastic containers during support. Total setup time at the booth was less than an hour.


I decided to go for a simple beige and wood color scheme with a matching beige with white stripes table cloth.









Most importantly, i must thank my family for their support. My kids had been wonderful. They behaved well despite the hot weather and long hours. My hubby had helped a lot in transport and looking after the kids.

 It was a tiring day but rewarding trip for me. I gained more than I had expected.
I learnt that we should always count my blessings and it was great to be able to help people who are less fortunate.
